The beautiful adventures of Avi

Christmas gifts for make up lovers!

Hello Everyone,

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and one of the things on everyone’s mind is Holiday gifts! We all want to be that person that gets everyone the perfect gift but with so many holiday collections being released, how do you choose? Well it depends on the person you are shopping for, the most expensive or the most popular are not always your best bet. Here are some of my fave products form what I have tried this year, because we’ve been adding products to our wishlist all year round and want more than just the recent holiday drops.

Of all the palette I received as PR this year, Urban Decay Born to run is one of my favorite palettes. It is the perfect travel palette with a wide array of shades and the perfect balance between matte and shimmer shades. This is perfect for nude, smokey, glam and colorful looks. It’s as versatile as the original morphexjaclynhill palette but it’s significantly smaller and more convenient to travel with.

It also comes with a huge mirror which is something you need to get glammed on the go. Every make up lover either owns this palette, has it on their wish list or needs a back up. I definitely need a back up or two!

Lancome Beauty box:
$65 USD for $422 worth of Lancome products with a $30 Lancome purchase at most retailers but Nordstorm has the full set on sale for $55.25 with $30 pruchase!The set includes: 1 Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base (the only mascara primer I used), 1 Bi-Facial Eye Make up Remover. 1 Le Crayon Khol Eyeliner Pencil in Black Ebony, Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Serum, New Advanced Genifque Yeux Youth Activating Smoothing Eye Cream, 1 Train case, 2 Color design Lip Color, 1 Color design Face Palette, 1 Color Design Eyeshadow Palette and 1 Mascara (Monsieur Big or Definicils High definition (color and options vary based on which set you choose). This is such an amazing deal you can divide it into 2 gifts, 1 skincare gift and 1 make up bundle and make 2 people on your list happy for only $55.25!

If you are from a large family like me and plan on making gift baskets for a bunch of ladies, you can totally divide these lipsticks into several gift baskets, but the vault case is so cute, you make not want to take them out. This set is perfect for a lipstick lover, wanderlust beauty addict, anyone starting out their make up collection and I can almost guarantee you that even the biggest make up hoarder in your life probably has not even heard of this vault yet!

Valdler make up bag:
Any beauty lover who travels, needs one of this, it’s the best way to keep your zillion beauty products organized while traveling. The compartments are adjustable so you can customize it to fit your favorite products! As you can see, brush storage is separated to keep them protect and there’s another section not visible in this photo. Attach it to your carry on as a personal item or use it as a backpack for the MUA on the go! Get yours here!

Of all the brush sets I’ve posted on instagram, these have by far been the most popular. I originally found these online at Canadian boutique for $90 when searching for the perfect gift for my beauty addicted bestie who loves Sailormoon but I have recently seen them on Amazon for under $20. These brushes come with a cute storage pouch and has everything you need to for full face and eye make up!

This will wow any beauty lover especially Sakura fans. And it won’t hurt your budget. Get yours here!

Innisfree 2018 Holiday My Lip Balm:
This set is only $19 but it includes 5 of the top selling shades of Innisfree My Lip Balm collection. Each tube contains 5g of product making them prefect to carry around in your purse. They come beautifully packaged for the holidays and are only available in limited quantities.Shades include:
Wild Hibiscus
Dried Rose Tea
Sunkissed Cherry Tea
Ruby Grapefruit Tea
Wedding Peach Tea

These are prefect your anyone who suffers from dry lips or those now entering in the world of makeup. The shades are on the pink to deep red spectrum which is perfect for the holiday season, straight through Valentine’s day. It would also be a great idea to get the set and divide it as stocking stuffers for the ladies in your life.

These are my top picks for 2018 beauty gifts. I hope this has helped you find the perfect unique gift!

I love the Lancôme Beauty Box 😍! I’ve never tried Lancôme before, but everything looks beautiful ❤️!! The Urban Decay Born to Run palette is gorgeous also!! I could really use a makeup bag! And how adorable are the Sailor Moon brushes 🥰! What great products you’ve reviewed!

My new wishlist favorite is the Kylie winter collection. I think the packaging is so adorable! I also really want the born to run palette & the Fenty lip bombs (including the new shade fu$$y). But mine change all the time lol

These are amazing, thank you! 😍 Since my mom passed away, I don’t celebrate Christmas no more.. So I don’t really have a wish-list. I have nobody to share it with. 😆 But I still can dream though.. I don’t own anything from Huda Beauty & I’m addicted to lipsticks. So if I had a wish-list, that would be on it. And I have the Born To Run Palette, I love it! ♥️

Please friend me on Instagram my name is here. Avi won’t mind. I am very sick and stuck in bed most the time. I could use a friend. On IG all I wanted was a friend but everyone is so skeptical. corrieaaron.

I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I’d probably feel the same. But mothers want their kids to be happy always. She will be with you in your memories and in the character of your deeds. Stay strong and find your happiness.

Thank you hun.. And I know my mom would want me to be happy, but I just can’t. Missing her is killing me, the pain becomes unbearable. But makeup is literally my therapy, escape, savior.. So I’ll will keep trying, thank you ♥️

I just got the Lancome Beauty Box as a gift and it is SO pretty! I love your idea of splitting it up to make more gifts! I really wanted to keep it, but the smile on my daughter’s faces will make it all worthwhile! I love following your Instagram to see what you find next! 💕 (@dandybeingtandi)

These are all great ! So pretty! I’ve been dying to try the New Huda Beauty Nude Palette but I can’t afford it… Its a lil too pricey for me. Can you make a blog post about it? I saw you have a pic of it.. What do you think of it? My IG is lefresav. ❤

All of that looks gorgeous! I’ve been wanting the nude pallet by HUDA soo bad it’s beautiful! For Christmas I got my sister and sister in law a ulta gift bag which was really cute it was a maroon bag that held a bunch of stuff it came with eyeshadow eyeliner lipstick fingernail polish blush a brush brow gel an many more things they loved it and I got them for a good price so I was definitely happy with them!

All time favourite Huda Beauty… Been dreaming ever since the rose gold pallete came out.. And now the new nude pallete. I’m obsessed.. I really wish I could afford it. But your blogs are so nicccee. Thank you. Really enjoy your stuff. ♥️
